The Premier League Golden Glove race was tightly contested as two of the league’s best goalkeepers battled it out up until the very end of the 2024–25 season.

The Golden Glove is awarded each year to the goalkeeper who keeps the most clean sheets across 38 Premier League games. Matz Sels, Nottingham Forest’s starting keeper, was a major force in the club’s push for European qualification this season, but faced stiff competition from last season’s Golden Glove winner, David Raya.

Here’s a look at the Premier League Golden Glove race after Matchday 37, the remaining games for goalkeepers in contention and a brief history of the award.

Sels and Forest finished the Premier League campaign at home to Chelsea aiming to secure their place in the Champions League. The Belgian took control of the Golden Glove race over the spring, but Raya chipped away at Sels’ lead over the past few weeks. The Spaniard drew level with the clean sheets leader after a hard-fought shutout against Newcastle United last week and looked poised to notch his 14th clean sheet of the season on the final day as Arsenal took on bottom-of-the-table Southampton.

In the blink of an eye on Sunday afternoon, the two goalkeepers were confirmed as joint-winners of the award. Raya and Sels were denied shutouts by Ross Stewart and Levi Colwill respectively on the final day, meaning the pair ended the season with 13 clean sheets.

The Golden Glove hasn’t been shared since 2021–22, when Alisson and Ederson each recorded a whopping 20 clean sheets. The two Brazilians were out of the running this season, ending the year with ten shutouts, while England internationals Jordan Pickford and Dean Henderson each came close to stealing Raya’s crown.

A 1–0 win for Everton at Newcastle United on the final day meant Pickford finished third with 12 clean sheets, while Henderson notched 11.

Most Clean Sheets in a Premier League Season

When Petr Čech won his first Premier League Golden Glove during the 2004–05 season with Chelsea, he set a league record with 24 clean sheets.

Manchester United’s Edwin van der Sar and Liverpool’s Alisson have come closest to Čech's record with 21, but no player has matched the Chelsea icon since.
